From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line (Russian: Невско-Василеостровская), is a line of the Saint Petersburg Metro, opened in 1967. It became famous by consisting almost exclusively of "Horizontal Lift" type stations. It is also the line of the Metro which has the longest inter-station tunnels. Metro officials originally intended to add stations in-between the existing ones, but those plans were later abandoned. The line cuts Saint Petersburg centre on an east-west axis and then turns southeast following the left bank of the Neva River. It is generally coloured green on Metro maps.
